Champion - Diamond Dobby Full-Zip Jacket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a lightweight jacket that breathes well, has no liner to retain too much heat (I usually wear longsleeve knit shirts and don't need the extra lining) and also has a decent amount of style and color.
After visiting a number of local stores and online sites this is the only one that seemed to be what I wanted. After owning and wearing it for several weeks on the coast and in the Central Oregon desert (both cold right now) I'm very happy with it and recommend it to anyone with the same needs.

Columbia Men's Shelby's Softshell Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This coat is incredibly light weight, but very warm compared to just a fleece-type Columbia jacket (which I had before). This coat has become my everyday coat, and it works great - I'm not sure how it holds up to skiing or snowboarding conditions.
The inside material is a thin fleece, not the long, blanket style fleece, which interacts with my inside clothes much less than the other fleece jacket I had before. The outside material is a glossy polyester, almost looks like a dull black satin. Water brushes of this material easily.
Pockets are double-sided, accessible from the outside through zipper pockets and through the inside pouch-style pockets.
Zipper is quite large, and the zipper handle can flip over to rest inside the coat - a feature of many ski and snowboard coats.
The bottom of the coat can be left loose for a modern, stylish look, or it can be bunched up using the built-in elastic band for a more snug fit.
The ends of the sleeves are controlled by a light elastic which hangs a bit loose, and it cannot be adjusted, which may be a turn-off for certain buyers. For my purposes, it is not an issue.
Good, quality Columbia coat, as usual.
